Trunkelsberg Castle

The Trunkelsberg Castle was first mentioned in the 1657th The place Trunkelsberg near Memmingen in today's Unterallgäu district in Upper Swabia belonged to the Eisenburg rule from the Staufer period until 1655 .

History and description of the building

It was first mentioned in 1657 due to a reconstruction and rebuilding of the castle by the Memmingen patrician Wachter. The patrician family Wachter sold the castle in 1697. This was followed by frequent changes of ownership. For some time it was owned by the Neubronner von und zu Eisenburg auf Trunkelsberg family until 1718, whereby the high and low jurisdiction over Trunkelsberg remained with the family until 1729. The stately saddle roof structure essentially dates from the 16th century. The stepped gable , which the castle has today, dates from the early 19th century. There is a groin vaulted room on the ground floor. On the upper floor there are drilled door frames with beam crowns and a room with a curved frame stucco on the ceiling.

The castle is located on approximately three hectares of land with old trees and is located on the south-eastern outskirts near the church of the independent community of Trunkelsberg. Today the castle is owned by the von Heuss-Blößt family in the third generation.
